Important Variegation Disclosure

Variegation is naturally unpredictable.

This corm was produced by an Alocasia 'Bisma Platinum' Albo parent plant, but the color, pattern and amount of variegation in the resulting plant cannot be guaranteed.

The corm may produce strong white or cream variegation, balanced silver-green and variegated foliage, mint markings, low-variegation growth, or predominantly green leaves. Variegation can also change as the plant matures.

What You Will Receive

One carefully selected live corm.

Corms naturally vary in size, shape, exterior texture and stage of growth. Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root, showing a visible growth point or already beginning to sprout.

How to Start Your Corm

Warm. Humid. Moist—not waterlogged.

Place the corm in a clean propagation container using a lightly moist medium. Position the pointed growth end upward and nestle the lower portion into the medium while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

Perlite +

Best for easy moisture control and airflow.

Rinse the perlite first, then place it into a clean cup and moisten it thoroughly. Nestle only the lower portion of the corm into the perlite with the growth point facing upward. Keep the perlite damp rather than flooded. A clear cup makes it easy to watch new roots without disturbing the corm.

LECA +

Great for semi-hydro propagation.

Rinse the LECA thoroughly and position the corm near the top of the clay pebbles. Keep a small water reservoir below the corm so moisture can wick upward while the corm itself stays above the standing water. As roots grow, they can gradually reach down toward the reservoir.

Sphagnum Moss +

Excellent for steady humidity around the corm.

Soak the moss, then squeeze out excess water until it feels damp but not dripping. Loosely place it around the lower part of the corm. Do not pack wet moss tightly around the whole corm—airflow is important. Check the corm periodically and keep the moss lightly moist.

Fluval Stratum +

Useful when you want consistent moisture in a small propagation cup.

Place moist Stratum into a clean cup and set the corm with the pointed growth end upward. Keep the lower portion in contact with the substrate without burying the corm too deeply. Keep it moist, not saturated, and monitor the cup so the media does not remain stagnant.

Puddle Method +

Simple and easy to monitor.

Use only a very shallow amount of water at the bottom of a clean container. The base of the corm should have access to moisture while most of the corm and the growth point remain above the water. Keep the setup warm, refresh the water if it becomes cloudy, and never fully submerge the corm.

Airy Aroid Mix +

A good option if you want to avoid a later substrate change.

Use a light mix with plenty of air space, such as potting mix or coco coir combined with perlite, pumice, fine bark or similar amendments. Use a small container, leave the growth point exposed, and keep the mix lightly moist. Dense, waterlogged soil should be avoided while the corm is still establishing roots.

Care After Sprouting

Move up slowly once roots and leaves develop.

Once the corm develops healthy roots and begins producing leaves, gradually transition it into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate.

Keep the young plant in bright indirect light. White, cream and pale tissue can be more sensitive to harsh direct sun. Maintain light, consistent moisture without allowing the root zone to remain waterlogged.

Bisma Platinum Albo Color Notice

Color can shift as each leaf hardens.

New foliage may emerge with stronger white, cream, mint or silver coloration and shift slightly as the leaf matures. Other leaves may appear more silver-green, medium green or deep green.

The term Bisma Platinum Albo identifies the collector form and parent plant. It does not guarantee visible white variegation on every leaf or an exact match to the mature plant pictured.

Shipping & Live-Corm Notice

Every corm is living propagation material.

Your corm may arrive dormant, rooted or unrooted, beginning to sprout, showing a visible growth point, carrying dry outer layers or displaying minor natural discoloration.

Dry exterior material, small surface marks and natural differences in color or shape are not automatically signs of poor health. Open the package promptly and place the corm into appropriate propagation conditions.
